it's ok, it's hacker news so I expected honesty which I appreciate. But What would you call an authentication mechanism which never passes the decryption key off the browser? It's an improvement over systems that handle the keys themselves on the server side.
I'm not sure, I would call that encrypted storage perhaps? Or client-side encryption
yeah, perhaps client-side encryption or User encryption ownership or something along those lines.
To me, "encrypted storage" doesn't sound like anything different that what is done with normal authentication methods.
